Spend some time talking to Brian, and have him build you an engine for your goals. Just plan to spend the money!

That's a dream build haha. I've been tossing around how much trouble I want to take on as I'm not sure how usable the power will be. I assume you have it mini-tubbed, do you have any electronics for traction control or is it just your foot?
I'm trying to determine if I even need the blower if I don't mini-tub and run big tires, otherwise it'll just be a tire eater. I've only had fast cars w/ all the modern TC to help put it down.
If I keep the LSA 1.9 blower (which is in my garage taunting me) I'm thinking again to save cash to go w/ the LS9 cam, as it will make more than I probably need. I want to do the engine build my self over the next few months and have Thomson tune it. Part of the fun for me is building it myself, well until I run into trouble. I have awesome luck... just spent 4 days doing ridetech front suspension and new brakes, was supposed to do rear suspension and brakes too. End result is front suspension sitting on tires (evidently the springs they sent are too soft) and no rear work done as I couldn't get c clips off axle due to sheared pinion pin retainer. 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.
